# How to collect extra profile fields with Get Profile Details in Sales Navigator

> Turn on Get Profile Details to add websites, Twitter URL, open-to-work status and structured work history to every lead your Sales Navigator Leads Scraper collects.

A Sales Navigator search listing only returns a limited set of fields per lead. **Get Profile Details** visits each lead's profile individually and pulls back extra information the listing doesn't include — websites, Twitter URL, open-to-work status, and their full structured work and education history.

<Note>
  This setting is specific to the **Sales Navigator Leads Scraper**.
</Note>

## How to turn it on

The toggle is **off by default**.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Advanced Settings">
    Go to your Sales Navigator Leads Scraper Squid, open the **Settings** tab, and scroll to **Advanced Settings**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enable Get Profile Details">
    Switch on the **Get Profile Details** toggle. The change applies to the **next** launch.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What you get

Seven extra columns are filled in your export:

| Column                     | What's in it                                                    |
| -------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `WEBSITES`                 | Websites listed on the profile, comma-separated                 |
| `TWITTER URL`              | The lead's Twitter/X profile, if they've linked one             |
| `OPEN TO WORK`             | `TRUE` or `FALSE` — whether the lead has the open-to-work badge |
| `CURRENT ROLE DESCRIPTION` | The free-text description of their current position             |
| `POSITIONS STRUCTURED`     | Full work history as a JSON array                               |
| `EDUCATIONS STRUCTURED`    | Full education history as a JSON array                          |
| `BANNER URL`               | The profile's banner image                                      |

`LINKEDIN PROFILE URL` also changes: with Get Profile Details on, it comes back as the readable form (`linkedin.com/in/john-doe`) rather than the coded one.

<Note>
  When LinkedIn has nothing for a field, the cell is simply **empty** — not `N/A` or `null`. The only exception is `OPEN TO WORK`, which is always either `TRUE` or `FALSE`.
</Note>

<Tip>
  `POSITIONS STRUCTURED` and `EDUCATIONS STRUCTURED` contain **JSON**, not plain text. Excel and Google Sheets will show them as one long string in a single cell. If you need those fields broken out into columns, parse the JSON after export rather than trying to split the cell.
</Tip>

## Does it cost credits?

Yes — **1 extra credit per profile**, on top of the credit already charged for scraping the lead. So a lead collected with Get Profile Details on costs **2 credits** in total instead of 1.

* **1 credit** to scrape the lead from the search listing.
* **1 credit** to fetch that lead's profile details.

On legacy plans both charges are 5, so 10 credits per lead. Check the [Sales Navigator Leads Scraper pricing calculator](https://www.lobstr.io/pricing?product=sales-navigator-leads-scraper#simulator) for an estimate based on your own inputs.

<Warning>
  **The details credit is charged per profile visited, whether or not any details come back.** This is different from [email enrichment](/enrichment/emails-sales-navigator#what-happens-if-no-email-is-found), where you're only charged when an email is actually found. If a lead's profile has no websites, no Twitter and no description, you still pay the credit for looking.
</Warning>

## It makes runs considerably slower

Get Profile Details visits every lead's profile as a separate request, and deliberately waits about **5 seconds between profiles** to stay within safe browsing behaviour. That pause, more than the extra request itself, is what slows things down.

In practice, 1,000 leads means roughly **80 minutes of waiting alone**, before any scraping time. Budget for it — and if you only need the extra fields for part of your list, consider running Get Profile Details on a smaller, more targeted Squid instead of your whole search.

## Daily limit: 1,000 profiles per account

LinkedIn caps how many profiles one Sales Navigator account can visit per day, so Get Profile Details is limited to **1,000 profiles per day per synced account**. This is LinkedIn's limit, not lobstr.io's — see [LinkedIn's daily limits](https://www.lobstr.io/blog/linkedin-limits) for the full picture.

When an account reaches it, the run **pauses** with the [`limit_exceeded`](/core-concepts/run-stop-reasons#limit_exceeded) stop reason and resumes automatically about 24 hours later. Your run log shows which limit was hit:

```
⏸️ Run pause triggered by "Account's limit has exceeded." for "<account>" (profiles limit reached the value of 1000).
```

Everything collected before the pause is saved and downloadable — you don't lose the run.

<Note>
  The allowance frees up on a **rolling 24-hour window** that starts from the first profile that account visited, not at midnight. If your account's first profile visit was at 3pm, the allowance resets at 3pm the next day.
</Note>

<Tip>
  The limit is **per synced account**, so syncing more accounts raises your effective daily ceiling — two accounts means 2,000 profiles a day. If a Squid has several accounts linked and one hits its limit, the run switches to another available account and keeps going instead of pausing. See [Sync multiple accounts](/getting-started/account-sync#sync-multiple-accounts).
</Tip>

## Turn off Get Beautiful Profile URL when using this

If you have [Get Beautiful Profile URL](/guides/sales-navigator/beautiful-profile-url) switched on as well, **turn it off**. Get Profile Details already returns the readable profile URL as part of what it fetches, so the second setting adds nothing — it just spends extra requests and eats into its own separate 3,000-per-day allowance for a value you're getting anyway.
